It will be fun way to socialize with others learning Icelandic – and it will be for a great cause! A donation (of any amount that you are able to contribute) is required to participate, these donations will go directly to scholarships for refugees through our organization Ratljós. Refreshments and coffee and tea will be served, hope you can join us!
We start at 17.00
The group is for sexual assault and violence survivors to come together and share their thoughts, feelings, and stories in a completely anonymous setting free of judgment. We aim to give survivors a safe space where they can talk freely.
We will have a trigger warning discussion before every event for people with trauma.
The event is open for survivors of all genders & sexualities.

An informal introduction to the current Indigenous-led struggle to protect the waters and land in Mi’kma’ki (specifically the so-called Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) and Secwepemcul’ecw (so-called South-Central British Columbia) followed by discussion.
The talk will focus on the Mi’kmaq resistance against the Alton Gas salt cavern project on the Shubenacadie River, and the Secwepemc Tiny House Warriors protesting in similar way against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Project, together with very brief setting in the context of the history of Indigenous resistance in so-called Canada. Additional information will be available on site (texts in English).
Canada’s trying to preach reconciliation but in fact things are as dire as ever – Indigenous unceded land is being quietly sold to corporations such as Alton Gas and BP Canada; Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people still routinely go missing, and Indigenous lives are treated as disposable.
Let’s come together to remember Tina Fontaine, Loretta Saunders, Colten Boushie and many more & talk about action.
There’s no entrance, but we’ll try to collect some money to support the Mi’kmaq water protectors & the Treaty Camp (https://stopaltongas.wordpress.com/donate/) on Shubenacadie (please bring cash). The talk will take place in English.
Accessibility:
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. An architect is already working on drawing a ramp and making an accessible bathroom in the space.
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door), and the washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
Anarchism, Democracy and the Icelandic Constitution
In 2012 Iceland embarked on a process of rewriting its national constitution. Unlike many examples around the world where countries renew or change their constitutions, this was to be a ‘crowd-sourced’ constitution, with the people of Iceland having a more direct and participatory role in how the new constitution was to look. This discussion workshop will reflect on that process and ask what it means for something a process like writing a constitution to be genuinely democratic. How can people be actively involved? What barriers are there stopping certain people from taking part? How can those barriers be overcome. Drawing on anarchist ideas of democracy, the workshop builds on discussions with activists and others in Iceland to explore what it would take for participatory democracy to work properly.
The workshop takes place in English (interpretation by request) and is hosted by Dr. Thomas Swann:
“I completed my PhD at the University of Leicester School of Management in September 2015. Prior to that, I gained an MA in Social and Political Philosophy from Radboud University Nijmegen in 2010 and an MA in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow in 2008. My research has examined the connections between anarchism and organisational cybernetics, aiming to develop ‘anarchist cybernetics’ as a framework for understanding radical left social movement organisation. More broadly, this included looking at the nature of autonomy in anarchist organisation, the relationship between tactics, strategy and grand strategy and the ways in which communication can be understood in a radical left context. An important element of this work focused on the notion of alternative social media.”
